i made a post about the pageant before reading iverglas thread. i addressed what she stated. [View all]

she was, of course, much more articulate than i. her thread was locked. this is my concern. drama, trauma and battle should not be a part of our mix. we can not get a post that a man says.... all women are prostitutes, hidden (some feel the other word too harsh. i dont. we can use it until we cant when making a statement). but in our "safe, protected" environment, our posts discussing the imbalance on du will be locked.

one of the things i was impressed with fearless (host in lbgt) about, was his/her right to protect themselves in their group, their environment. womens forum should be expected to be allowed the same. i see no reason for the drama and battle of another forum to effect our forum.

iverglas lock shows us once again, women being thrown to the side of the road.

this locked thread concerns me. it tells me we may have an issue. and it is wrong.
